Processing GPS data in C++ 5-Jul-02 4:41 5-Jul-02 4:41  Anyone have a routine for reading in the standardGPS data in the NIMA format? I want to be able to read in the GPS data on a pocket PC with an application written in VC++ (embedded 3.0). AN SDK with a few objects for parsing the data would be perfect but any help in reading the serial port as well would be better... Thanks disabled menu item at start ns5-Jul-02 3:36 ns 5-Jul-02 3:36  I have two handlers for the two messages available for a menu item (command and command_ui..) These are like: void CFormViewMDIDoc::OnEnabledByadmin() { // TODO: Add your command handler code here //AfxMessageBox"hello"); } void CFormViewMDIDoc::OnUpdateEnabledbyadmin(CCmdUI* pCmdUI) { // TODO: Add your command update UI handler code here pCmdUI->Enable(m_checked) ; pCmdUI->SetCheck(m_checked); } I read that the menu item is initially disabled if theres no command handler for the menu. Even if I uncomment the messagebox in the command handler above, the menu item is still greyed out at startup. WHy is this? Thank you, ns Re: disabled menu item at start Fredrik Skog5-Jul-02 3:55 Fredrik Skog 5-Jul-02 3:55  You might want to have a look at the value of m_checked.

You were right! I'd set it to False in my constructor of the view class. I also see now that an uninitialized BOOL is TRUE by default. I wasnt sure what made UIUpdate function run automatically so I didnt connect things. Thanks for clearing that up! So the constructor makes the UI handler run too...right? Re: disabled menu item at start Roger Allen5-Jul-02 4:08 Roger Allen 5-Jul-02 4:08  No the constructor does not. MFC periodically calls the UI handlers for toolbar buttons and menu items when in the idle state, or when a menu is about to be shown. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I had a quote, it would be a very good one. Re: disabled menu item at start Fredrik Skog5-Jul-02 4:12 Fredrik Skog 5-Jul-02 4:12  If you have a look at the message map you'll see something like this: BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd) //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame) ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_INDICATOR_YOURFUNC, OnUpdateYourFunc) //}}AFX_MSG_MAP END_MESSAGE_MAP() There is a lot of stuff taken care of for you, so you don't see everything that is going on behind the curtains.

No it's not. An uninitialised BOOL, or an uninitialised anything else, is undefined. An uninitialised variable will have an indeterminate value - you can't rely on it. I believe that in debug builds the compiler will assign special guard values (which are non-zero, and hence considered to be 'true') as soon as it allocates memory (i.e. before you initialise it), but that's only the case for debug builds and you should never rely on it anyway. "We are the knights who say Ni" (The Knights Who Say Ni) MDI doc sending info to modal dlg -how to? ns5-Jul-02 3:24 ns 5-Jul-02 3:24  Well, in the modeless dialog spawned by my docs menu, I have access to a customizable Create function so I can send over info to the dlg window - like doc members etc(theoretically - am going to try it) How do I give the modal dlg a doc member value? I cant get the pDOc pointer and access it that way, or can I ? I suspect not since its not a view thats making the pointer (only place I've seen pDoc->GetMember() type stuff. Is it true that you can call this from any class where you instantiate the pointer, or only from the view, since its the only one who knows which doc to get the pointer to, and GetDocument is a View function. Thank you, ns Re: MDI doc sending info to modal dlg -how to? Mike Upton5-Jul-02 4:59 Mike Upton 5-Jul-02 4:59  Any particular reason you can't pass a pointer to the document to the Create function? Or, for that matter, to the constructor? Then you can store the document pointer in your dialog, and Bob, as they say, is your green alien-like Uncle. "We are the knights who say Ni" (The Knights Who Say Ni) Re: MDI doc sending info to modal dlg -how to? nsns5-Jul-02 16:24 nsns 5-Jul-02 16:24  Well, The way I've seen it, modeless dlgs get created with Create, but modal is just CMyDialog dlg; dlg->DoModal(); So theres no create function that I can see invoked for it. I'm new at this stuff so I can only base my info on stuff I see in books etc. Where d oes create() come in for a modaldlg? Thanks, and sorry if I seem clueless.... ns I get the pass in constructor idea....thanks! nsns5-Jul-02 16:26 nsns 5-Jul-02 16:26  I reread your response and think I can do what you say - sending it in via a constructor,. So sorry to be so hasty in my first reply (though I still dont see the Create conection) Re: I get the pass in constructor idea....thanks! Mike Upton7-Jul-02 22:28 Mike Upton 7-Jul-02 22:28  Apologies - I slightly misread your first message, and thought you were talking about modeless dialogs all the way through, not just in the first paragraph. You're right, Create() isn't used for modal dialogs. "We are the knights who say Ni" (The Knights Who Say Ni) problem with CRectTracker sanskypotov5-Jul-02 3:11 sanskypotov 5-Jul-02 3:11  Hi I am using the CRectTracker to drag controls around, there are examples available also here on the site. I face a problem, that when 2 controls overlap each other and if they are selected( in other words they are showing the tracker) then the CRectTracker get hidden in the overlapping place. Please can someone tell me the solution on how to overcome this.

First of all, I would like to know which MFC DLL project I have to choose exactly (Regular DLL or MFC extension DLL). And what about their differences ? My problem is : when I have a resource (for example a Dialog) in my DLL which has the same Res ID that an another resource in my EXE, and when I want to show one of the two, I may have the other being displayed (because of the same ID). So currently I must compare the 2 "resources.h" to not have similar IDs which is not a great solution to my problem. Please help me ! jpeg SetWindowText works but disappears -Dy5-Jul-02 0:58 -Dy 5-Jul-02 0:58  I've got a MDI MFC app (without doc/view), with a CChildFrame and CChildView. I use SetWindowText to set the MDI child's title's, which works fine until I open a second MDI child, which then has its title set (correctly), but the first title is blanked out. If I toggle between the two of them they (the window titles) both disappear. Whilst trying to figure out what I screwed up I used SetWindowText in CChildFrame::OnSetFocus and I can see the title being set but it then disappears straight away. Does anyone know what I've done wrong, or what I need to handle to get my MDI children to keep their titles? Dylan Kenneally London, UK Re: SetWindowText works but disappears Neville Franks5-Jul-02 23:10 Neville Franks 5-Jul-02 23:10  Dylan, you need to override CChildFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle() and do your own thing there without calling the base class OnUpdateFrameTitle(). This is what I do in ED (see sig). I also use my own CMainFrame::OnUpdateFrameTitle().

While I would expect that to still work (CString has constructors for both ANSI and unicode strings), try it with __targv instead which'll expand to __argv or __wargv as appropriate. --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt v1.3 - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm
